2009 Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg Première Trie...$66.99
This is gorgeous, with notes of ginger, orange, clementine, white peach and green fig all bouncing off one another, but working harmoniously through the richly detailed finish. A lingering green tea note hangs on for added length as this puts on weight with air. Drink now through 2025. 760 cases made. –JM
Rated 96/100 The Wine Spectator
2009 Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont....$43.99
This wants to be lush, with a core of mango and green fig fruit, but the minerality, ginger blossom and melon rind notes harness it all. The long, pure finish has a lingering green tea note that echoes at the very end. Drink now through 2025. 1,700 cases made. –JM
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator
2009 Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont Première Trie....$66.99
A ripe, juicy style, with lots of green almond, fig and pear notes backed by more quince and melon on the rounded, opulent finish. Almost sticky in feel, but the underlying acidity keeps it all fresh and pure. The finishes drives on, with added length as this airs in the glass. Drink now through 2025. 700 cases made. –JM
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator
2009 Huet Vouvray Sec Clos du Bourg...$29.99
Dry, but still flattering in feel, with friendly green almond, quince and fig notes carried by a lilting floral hint on the finish. Drink now through 2015. 1,380 cases made. –JM
Rated 91/100 The Wine Spectator
2005 Huet Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance...$133.99 / 500ml
Plus just a few bottles remain of this rare dessert wine
Comprising a virtually berry-by-berry selection of perfectly botrytized fruit from each of the domaine’s three sites, the Huet 2005 Vouvray Cuvee Constance will be virtually ageless. Quince jelly, marzipan, lemon candy, heliotrope, and honey levitate from the glass, in anticipation of the startling elegance, lift, and lightness of touch that this elixir exhibits on the palate, for all of its intensely honeyed richness. Fresh grapefruit and lemon leaven the wine and balance its 137 grams residual sugar, and the finish is astonishingly fresh and juicy, yet displays confectionary (marzipan, vanilla creme) and patisserie (buttered pastry with quince filling) sides as well. Anyone hoping to net and pin down in words this splendid butterfly of a wine will fail, but if you do pin down a bottle, let it soar across the next several decades.
Rated 96/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
